About Lorraine
Lorraine Stamp is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. She offers a steady, respectful presence and listens first to understand what is happening in a person's life. Lorraine aims to help people set clear goals and take practical steps toward them.
She uses a mix of approaches depending on the person's needs. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance strategies, attachment-focused work, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Lorraine also draws on mindfulness and client-centered ways of working to support coping and emotional regulation.
Her background includes long-term work in an organizational setting where she provided therapy for groups and individuals and supervised other clinicians for 21 years. Lorraine holds a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and a Master of Social Work, earned with advanced standing. She is licensed in New York as an LCSW-R.
In sessions she begins by listening and helping people name short-term goals. Then she and the person try practical steps that fit their life. Lorraine has worked with issues such as addiction, grief, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and recovery after trauma.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process. People who come to her often want concrete tools, clearer communication, or help coping with big life changes such as separation, caregiving demands, or disasters. Lorraine also supports those navigating identity and relationship questions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and emotional bonds to improve communication and trust in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lorraine will talk with each person about goals, challenges, and preferences, then try approaches together and adjust what is needed. She frames this as a collaborative process where the person and therapist decide what fits best.
